Slope of a line is a lower level of Algebra, and once you take statistics you find that a simple linear progression is rarely useful. Understanding what it means, and how to use modern software and tools to calculate it, is far more valuable than knowing rise over run. I'd hire a guy who knew Excel over FOIL anyday.
Here's the learning outcomes for Intermediate Algebra; the student will be able to: Identify and graph inequalities, absolute value, rational, radical, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions Simplify rational, radical, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic expressions Solve both analytically and graphically inequalities, absolute value, rational, radical, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic equations Use technology such as graphing calculators and/or computer algebra system to assist in solving problems involving any of the topics in (A) through (C) Discuss mathematical problems and write solutions in accurate mathematical language and notation interpret mathematical solutions.

Wow. First of all, I received my high school diploma and BE in Mathematics in New York. When I moved to California to teach, it totally blew my mind that most college freshman were taking "College Algebra" as they entered university (Cal State, CU or private). Where I come from if you were going to college straight from high school, you started with Calculus. If not ready for that, you took remedial courses through junior colleges. It was never expected that they would transfer as general education credit. Statistics could be used if you were not a math major but two semesters of math was required for a BA regardless of major. One had to be Calculus. It actually floors me as a secondary math teacher that students are graduating with no less than 2 years of Algebraic coursework only to repeat it. This from ALL races! It's NOT A civil rights issue it's a phobia that hopefully Common Core teaching strategies will help!! Algebraic thinking/problem solving is key to all critical thinking!
While learning statistics represents a less challenging experience, it should never replace mathematics, which is a valid discipline by itself. Intermediate algebra provides a set of skills that every college students should be able to cope with. The argument that such knowledge students "will never use, either in college or in life" is invalid. Numerous other components of education do not call for an immediate application but they are still inevitable components of a … Read More
The filmmakers' goal is to have a global conversation and raise awareness around anxiety. Angst features candid interviews with kids and young adults who suffer, or have suffered, from anxiety and what they've learned about it. The film includes discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, as well as help, resources and tools.
Is anxiety affecting you and the people living in your community? Are you a teacher who sees many students dealing with stress or anxiety? Or a parent with children experiencing anxiety? Help break the stigma around anxiety and get the discussion started today.Host a Screening
Angst is not available online at this time because we are currently screening the film at schools and community centers across the country. We believe it is important to follow up this film with an in-person discussion. At some point in the near future, we hope to make the film available online as well.Eddie Bauer Mens Eddie Amphib Cinder Grey ZNyfBN
"Angst is inspirational; the courageous effort made by teens in the film to face their fears and become competent in coping is heart-warming and breath-taking."
"I welcomed the opportunity to be a part of to further the dialogue around mental health and to help people understand the impact anxiety has on our mental state and encourage people, especially kids, to ask for help."
"I also find that anxiety is a debilitating disease with our students and wanted to share your vision and hope with them. "
"So glad my dad got to see this movie now he knows I'm not making it up."
"I wish this film had existed when I was growing up it would've saved me and my family a lot of heartache."
"I never knew that what I was experiencing was severe anxiety I'm so grateful to know that there is treatment."
"It's powerful, spot-on, genuine, educational and hopeful. Well done!!"
We know anxiety can cause you, your loved ones, and your friends a lot of stress. Here are some of the resources we believe can help. This list has been examined by experts in the mental health field and will continue to grow. Please note these are just recommendations, and not "one size fits all".
Hockey historians say Fred Sasakamoose became the NHL's first indigenous player with treaty status when he skated for the Chicago Blackhawks in 1953-54 (Photo/Courtesy Hockey Hall of Fame).
Maracle is starting to get his due, thanks to Schmidt-Adeney's doggedness. She reached out to the Rangers and obtained two official jerseys, complete with Maracle's last name and Number 14 on the back.
One of the sweaters will be presented at a ceremony next month to

Plans are being formulated to present the second Rangers jersey to a representative of Six Nations of Grand River , hopefully to coincide with National Aboriginal Heritage Day on the June 21.Six Nations of Grand River National Aboriginal Heritage Day
In addition, the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto asked Schmidt-Adeney for her research on Maracle.Hockey Hall of Fame
She noted in her March 21, 2018 article that the Hall had biographies for Maracle and Sasakamoose in its data base, but only had Sasakamoose described as indigenous.
So who was Henry Elmer "Buddy" Maracle?
He was a 5-foot-11 left wing whose professional career began in 1926-27 with the Springfield Indians of the old Canadian-AmericanHockey League . He spent four season with the Indians before he was traded to the Rangers in 1930-31. His hockey exploits garnered racist headlines like "Indian Puck Star" and "Redskin Icer."Canadian-AmericanHockey League
He ended his professional playing career in 1936-37 after skating for the Indians, Philadelphia Arrows , New Haven Eagles , and Bronx Tigers of the old Canadian-American Hockey League , and the Tulsa Oilers of the American Hockey Association.

Model-turned-actress Jenny Mccarthy has dismissed reports she has found a new boyfriend just weeks after splitting from footballer Brian Urlacher.
The busty blonde ended her four-month romance with Chicago Bears linebacker Urlacher in August (12), but an article on Eonline.com on Thursday (25Oct12) suggested she had bounced back from her heartache by embarking on a new relationship with celebrity jeweller Pascal Mouawad.
McCarthy has brushed off the claims via her Twitter.com blog, insisting the rumor is not true and she's "still single and happy about it".
The Two and a Half Men star also revealed to fans that she is currently too ill to date - because her extensive promotional tour for her new autobiography, Bad Habits: Confessions of a Recovering Catholic, has left her with a throat infection.
She tweets, "I'm in bed with strep throat. Was a long book tour and finally caught up with me. Boo."

A lot summer camps hail the footlocker trunk as their preferred packing container. But what size will suit your camper best, specific to his or her camp stay? You'll want to consider a few different factors before making your decision.
First, get the right bed height for the bunks at camp. You might be able to find this on your camp information packet but, if not, don't be afraid to call up the camp for answers. Generally trunks under 14" work for most camps.
Second, consider the amount of camp clothing, gear, and supplies you need to pack. Just because your child is going to camp for three weeks doesn't mean you need to pack clothes for three weeks, many camps have laundry service. Follow your camp's packing list.
Third, consider what size clothing you're trying to pack. After all, a dozen Youth Small Tees won't eat up as much space as a dozen Adult Larges.
The lists below will give you a good idea of what can fit inside each of our trunks. We used a combination of Youth Large and Adult Small clothing to create the lists. Our camp trunks are all 32" long and 18" wide, the only difference is in the height of trunks.
We designed with size in mind! Our smallest trunk means that it costs the least and weighs the least. It also means that it's the least expense when travelling on airlines. Most campers that use this trunk attend a camp with very low bed heights or consistently travel to camp via plane.
Happy Camper
By far the most popular of our camp trunks, the Happy Camper is the safest choice. Why? Because it works! Sized right for pretty much any camp, the Happy Camper can do no wrong. 75% of our footlocker sales are Happy Campers. It's also the model for our latest creation, Designer Trunks, which are made with the same size and design of the Happy Camper.
If your camp offers the available space, then the UnderGrad is a great size trunk for you. This trunk fits a bit more gear than the Happy Camper. The additional packing space provides for a little wiggle-room too which makes living out of a the trunk a little more convenient.
If your camp has no height restrictions, then go as big as you can with the Graduate. For campers who are looking forward to a lengthier camp stay at a camp without laundry service, this is the trunk for you. The Graduate also offers excellent future use at school if college is coming up soon after your summer camp days.
Snap-On Duffel Bag
The perfect sidekick to our C&N Camp Trunks, the Snap-On Duffel is specifically designed to snap onto your trunk making transportation super-convenient. We recommend using this Duffel for bulkier items that eat up space like pillows, blankets, and towels. If you would rather skip the duffel bag we suggest transporting bulkier items inside a laundry bag.
Glide & Go Tray
Keep your small camp supplies, toiletries, and stationery organized as well as easy-to-grab in our see-through Glide & Go Trays. These trays offer easy access to the rest of the trunk's contents as well with a simple slide to one side or the other. Prevent toiletry spills from ruining your packed contents like clothing and keep them in a convenient Glide & Go Tray!

Area football teams starting to win again
For the first time since coming to Sweetwater in 1990, your humble sports editor had no football team from Nolan County to cover in the high school playoffs this past season. In fact, there were few victories to write about as the county's four schools won just one-fifth of their games (8-32) — and one of those was the result of a forfeit.But there have been eight victories this season already and Sweetwater (2-3) is the only area team that hasn't already reached or exceeded its win total for last year.Highland (3-2) is current-ly on a three-game winning streak after going just 3-7 in 2011; Roscoe (1-3) defeated Baird 14-0 this past week for its first win since 2010; and Blackwell (2-3) has shown no-ticeable improve-ment un-der its new coach Clint Lowry and is just a few points away from having a 4-1 mark after fourth-quarter leads against Trent and Blanket slipped away the last two weeks.Highland, on the other hand, has won twice in the final minute during its current streak — starting with a 46-44 win over Loraine Sept. 14. That was followed by the Hornets' resounding 86-44 win over Sands on Sept. 21 and this past week's 30-25 win over a Trent team that entered the game 4-0 after edging Blackwell.Highland overcame a 23-8 deficit vs. Trent to go up 24-23 in the third quar-ter, only to fall behind again 25-24 when the Gorillas got a fourth-quarter safety.However, Highland would not be denied as the Hornets scored on their last possession that began with less than 1:30 left and no timeouts. Highland faced fourth-and goal until Ron Covington's winning 12-yard TD as time expired.Two weeks earlier in the team's win over Loraine, a 16-yard scoring run by Michael Hyde tied it at 44-44 with :39 left and Hyde then kicked the PAT for the win. Loraine, Trent and Sands are all top-25 teams in Division II, so the Hornets weren't exactly facing weaklings. Highland is No. 26 in the most recent Division I poll and fell one spot despite beating Trent, while Blackwell — which will be going to Highland a week from Friday — is ranked No. 35 in D-II.All three Nolan County area schools celebrate homecoming this week while Sweetwater is off. Roscoe — 1-0 in district af-ter ending its 14-game losing streak — plays host to Cross Plains (1-0, 2-2) on Friday while on Saturday, Highland will host Lueders-Avoca (2-3) in non-district and Blackwell entertains 0-5 Moran. Blackwell and Highland don't start district games until Oct. 26.Sweetwater has dealt with several injuries to key play-ers. But getting a week off should help after losing two straight to Wall and Brown-wood. Sweetwater begins district by hosting Snyder — also 2-3 — on Oct. 12 in the first of two straight at home after three consecutive road games.The next few weeks are crucial as Sweetwater hosts Greenwood (4-1) on Oct. 19 and probably needs at least a split at home before going to Big Spring on Oct. 26.

(Reuters) - Contract electronics maker Flextronics International Ltd reported a quarterly loss after the departure of key customer BlackBerry, and it warned earnings in the current quarter may fall below analysts' estimates.
Flextronics shares fell 2 percent in extended trading.
The company, which reported a charge of about $125 million in its fourth quarter related to factory closures and job cuts, said it expects an additional $25 million to $30 million in charges in the current quarter.
The Singapore-based company said in January it expected almost no revenue from BlackBerry, formerly a key customer, and it warned that the quarter's results would be below analysts expectations.
Flextronics, which recently completed its acquisition of Motorola Mobility's factories in China, forecast adjusted earnings from continuing operations of 12 cents to 16 cents per share on revenue of $5.3 billion to $5.6 billion for the current quarter.
Analysts on average were expecting a profit of 16 cents per share on revenue of $5.45 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Flextronics produces the Xbox game console for Microsoft Corp and smartphones for Google Inc, as well as networking and other electronics gear.
BlackBerry contributed more than 10 percent of Flextronics' net sales of $29.4 billion for the year ended March 2012.
The quarterly net loss was $27 million, or 4 cents per share, compared with a profit of $143.3 million, or 20 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the company earned 13 cents per share.
Revenue fell 17 percent to about $5.3 billion.
Analysts on average had expected adjusted earnings of 13 cents per share on revenue of $5.19 billion.
Shares of the company, which competes with Sanmina-SCI Corp and Jabil Circuit Inc, closed at $7.15 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday.

DETROIT (AP) — Dave Bing's time in the turbulence of Detroit, its politics and immense urban problems will end after only four years.
Buffeted from day one by a multimillion-dollar budget deficit, inefficient internal systems and the need for massive restructuring, the former NBA great announced Tuesday he will not seek re-election and will exit City Hall when his first term as mayor ends in December.
Bing told a group of supporters at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History that the work he and his team started after winning a May 2009 special election is far from finished.
He was unable to bring Detroit's finances in line, and the city came under state oversight in late March when Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Washington-based bankruptcy attorney Kevyn Orr as emergency manager. Orr has final say on all fiscal matters.
"I love the compassion and commitment of Detroiters, and that's why I stayed here and that is why I ran for mayor to right the things that are wrong and to change conditions and the conversation about our city," Bing said. "There's a lot of work that still needs to be done. All the plans that we put into place ... will not be completed by the end of my term."
Detroit's budget deficit could reach $380 million by July 1. Long-term debt is at more than $14 billion. The city could run out of cash before the end of the year, and bankruptcy hasn't been ruled out.
Despite demolishing nearly 10,000 vacant houses since Bing took office, the city still has tens of thousands of vacant homes standing.
The city on Tuesday also hired its fifth police chief in five years to run an undermanned department swamped by one of the highest violent crime and homicide rates in the country.
"Being the mayor of Detroit is not a picnic — in even good circumstances," said T.J. Bucholz, a specialist in political advocacy with a Lansing-based public affairs firm. "Given the fiscal strain, that is a nearly impossible job for even the most qualified candidate."
Known for his cool as a former NBA basketball player, Bing spoke in a measured tone during Tuesday's news conference.
"Change takes time and hard work," said Bing. "However, when Gov. Snyder didn't feel progress was occurring fast enough, he made the decision to appoint an emergency manager with the power to immediately fix some of the city's longstanding financial problems."
The roles of the mayor and the elected City Council were reduced after Orr's appointment.
Although Bing long resisted the appointment of an emergency manager, he decided not to pursue a lawsuit to block it and referred to the arrangement as a "partnership" after Orr was appointed. He didn't directly criticize Orr on Tuesday either, pointing out that some of Orr's findings about the city's situation were similar to his own.
In a statement Tuesday, Orr commended Bing on his service to Detroit.
"The work that he has begun has set Detroit on a path to achieve many of the goals necessary for the city to thrive," Orr said.
Instead, Bing saved most of his scorn for state leaders. He said he expected more help from Lansing that never came.
He criticized a decision by a regional council of governments to cut funding to the city's bus department while increasing allocations to a suburban bus system. He said Lansing's approval of the development of a water and sewer system in Genesee County shows an unwillingness to truly help Detroit. Flint and other cities in Genesee County currently pay Detroit for water and sewer services.
"I have to wonder if the state is truly interested in a partnership," Bing said.
Snyder dismissed the assertion, while still praising Bing.
"We've worked very hard to be a good partner, and I appreciate the mayor and his hard work and diligence in trying to make Detroit a better place," Snyder told reporters Tuesday after signing legislation at the Capitol. "He's done a lot of things to make Detroit a better place. We just need to redouble that effort and do even more in a faster period of time."
Besides the financial mess, crime continues to plague Detroit neighborhoods, many of which are dominated by vacant houses in need of demolition.
An uptick in business investment and a project aimed at investing in and turning around city neighborhoods are among the improvements under Bing's watch, according to Luther Keith, executive director of Arise Detroit!, a coalition of community groups that focus on improving the city.
"We still have to step up our game. That's what he recognizes," Keith said.
Bing told reporters for months that he was contemplating whether to seek re-election and waited until several hours before Tuesday's deadline to announce it. But didn't rule out a political return and said he'd form an exploratory committee for a possible run for Wayne County executive.
Bing spent a dozen years in the NBA after being selected by the Detroit Pistons with the second overall pick in the 1966 NBA draft. After his career, he was elected to the professional basketball Hall of Fame.
In 1980, he founded a steel supply company in Detroit.
Bing ran for mayor in 2009 and won to fill out the remaining months of Kwame Kilpatrick's second term in office after the former mayor was convicted and jailed on charges related to lying on the stand during a civil trial. Detroit voters elected Bing to a full four-year term that November.
Several high-profile candidates have filed or said they will file to run in this year's mayoral race, including Mike Duggan, former chief executive of the Detroit Medical Center, and Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, a former Detroit police chief.
The primary is in August, followed by the nonpartisan general election in November.
Associated Press Writer David Eggert in Lansing contributed to this report.

Joe Jonas was left hot under the collar during his gig with Britney Spears on Monday night (31Oct11) when the superstar dragged him onstage for a sexy lap dance.
The Jonas Brothers star is currently the opening act on the Toxic hitmaker's Femme Fatale tour, and the pair performed for thousands of fans at Wembley Arena in London.
However, Jonas' duties weren't finished when he completed his set - Spears ordered him back onstage and handcuffed him to a chair, before dancing around him provocatively and wrapping her legs around his neck while singing her track Lace and Leather.

Encouraging year-round learning
When school's out, the last thing kids want to do is homework. But most schools today require students to keep up with their studies even in the summer. Instead of letting it be a bummer, enhance that summer learning.
With the right plans and outings, you can ensure that your kids end summer all ready to rock their next school year.
Learning over summer break might seem like a bummer, but when done well it can help your kids be fully prepared to rock their next school year. So, how can you make summertime learning absolutely rock (and not seem like a painful punishment)?
Close to home
Dr. Ashley Norris, assistant dean of the College of Education at the University of Phoenix, says to begin by looking in your own backyard. "Open the morning newspaper and choose an adventure for the day. See what is happening in your community and find learning opportunities in your own backyard," says Norris.
Norris suggests that local shopping can be a place to start. "Visit the farmer's market to learn about vegetables. Take pictures and continue your research online or at the library. Then have your child create a presentation about what he/she learned," says Norris.
Also, take advantage of the cultural offerings in your area. "Attend concerts in the park or other community music events. Inspire children to research and explore different types of music or the history of a specific instrument," says Norris.
Step away from the workbook
Workbooks? Sure, the teacher's store is stocked with them. But what you really want to do is keep your child's brain engaged.
"It is summer after all, so pick activities that your child will think is fun. Try to do some activities that they normally won't do at school and stay away from workbook type of activities. The point is to keep their brains active in a fun and exciting way," says Kelly Blair, director of curriculum and instruction at Compass Learning.
That could mean hitting the library for science experiment books, says Blair. "Whenever applicable, let your kid plan the activity and organize all the materials needed. That allows them to take ownership in their learning, which they love. The more they get to be the decision maker in what they do, the more fun they will have," says Blair.
Cook together
Cooking isn't just a means to get dinner on the table. It can be a fantastic learning opportunity for your children where they can learn about measurements, time, temperature and chemical reactions, says Blair. "Have them note and report out on the things they see, then explain why. Why does the oil not mix with the vinegar? Why do you need different amounts of onion when using dried onion versus fresh onion," says Blair.
Every day is a new opportunity to help your children think critically, exercise their minds and have fun in the process.

New Equine Infectious Anemia Surveillance Information
Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) is a viral disease of members of the horse family.
The equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) is categorized as a retrovirus: it contains genetic RNA material, which it uses to produce DNA. This DNA is then incorporated into the genetic makeup of infected cells. Identified in France in 1843 and first tentatively diagnosed in the United States in 1888, EIA has commanded a great deal of attention over the years. There is no vaccine or treatment for the disease. It is often difficult to differentiate from other fever-producing diseases, including anthrax, influenza, and equine encephalitis.

Why would hundreds of MEA-MFT members spend countless hours studying voting records and interviewing political candidates?
Because it makes a difference who gets elected to public office. It matters to our members, their families, and the Montana people our members serve.
The 35 locally elected members of MEA-MFT's Board of Directors also serve on MEA-MFT's Committee on Political Education (COPE). Many more members help with the candidate interview process.
COPE members recommend candidates who support our members' work, working conditions, and rights.
"Recommendations involve hundreds of hours of research, hundreds of members doing interviews, an exhaustive process to bring you the best information-always party blind and issue driven," said MEA-MFT President Eric Feaver.
Voting records
MEA-MFT compiles voting records on votes of importance to members. The votes tallied include funding for k-12 schools, the university system, and state services; member pay, health care, and retirement issues; and workers' rights. The voting record is published in MEA-MFT Today and on this web site.
Early recommendations
Some candidates who are running for re-election (incumbents) have voted to support MEA-MFT members time after time. Regardless of who runs against them, these candidates will be recommended by MEA-MFT COPE. They are proven friends of public education, public services, and public employees.
Local MEA-MFT teams, including at least three members, interview candidates for the legislature. They use the MEA-MFT survey to determine the candidates' positions on issues that matter to MEA-MFT members' work, working conditions, and rights.
Local recommendations
Local interview teams forward their information to the 35 members of MEA-MFT COPE. COPE members consider the local recommendation, the candidate's voting record, and the candidate's public statements and viability. Statewide candidates are interviewed by the entire COPE board. MEA-MFT candidate recommendations are party blind and issue driven.
Member-to-member communication
MEA-MFT members receive information about recommended candidates in several ways:
From their local union presidents, MEA-MFT field consultants, and MEA-MFT elected leaders
The voting booth--It's YOUR CHOICE
MEA-MFT does not have all the answers to all the questions about candidates. COPE recommendations are limited to the issues we can all agree on, issues that matter to MEA-MFT members' jobs and working conditions. Members are encouraged to research the candidates and look to other groups for information on other issues they care about.
THE BOTTOM LINE! MEA-MFT never tells members how to vote. COPE members offer important information about working issues so members can consider the information when they decide which candidates to support with their vote.
Helping the candidates
MEA-MFT does not use dues money for direct contributions to candidates or ballot issue campaigns. For those efforts, we use voluntary contributions. Please read about how you can help.

Immunization is one of the most effective ways to protect against
infectious diseases. Vaccines have saved millions of lives worldwide and
millions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs. Unfortunately, each year
thousands of people still die of vaccine-preventable diseases. IDSA is working
to ensure that immunization programs are established, maintained and funded, and
that research and development of new vaccines continues. IDSA also seeks to
strengthen adult and adolescent immunization coverage and mandate influenza
immunization of health care personnel.
IDSA works independently and through coalitions with like-minded organizations to monitor and favorably impact immunization policy and programs as well as to support continued investments in vaccine research and development which is essential to bring new and improved vaccines to market. U.S. policymakers must be vigilant in working to improve and ensure the availability of these critical public health tools.
While the United States has made significant progress toward eliminating vaccine-preventable diseases among children, similar successes have not yet occurred for adults and adolescents. Unacceptably low immunization rates exist among many adults and adolescents in the U.S. To combat this failure, IDSA developed a set of policy principles and recommendations to strengthen adult and adolescent immunizations, and we are working with federal and state partners to move these ideas forward.
Healthcare personnel (HCP) are at risk for exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases and possible transmission to patients, their families, other personnel, and local communities. IDSA supports mandatory immunization of HCP according to recommendations of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

I consider the mushrooms on the end of my fork: Though Americans once avoided them, many now enjoy fungi as food – in stir-fry and stew, and atop pizza. But what about growing mushrooms and their kin as natural building materials or insulation, or to take us into a waste-free world? It's an eco-innovation to which we should all open our minds!
The story begins in 2006 with two Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute engineering students, Eben Bayer and Gavin McIntyre, who grew mushrooms under their dorm room beds. Raised on a small Vermont farm, Bayer was fascinated by the materials manufacturing potential of mycelium, the fibrous root network fungi send forth into wood and other natural materials, binding them together.
Fast forward a few years, toss in several large eco-innovation grants, and Bayer and McIntyre are the driving force behind Ecovative Design, a Green Island, New York, company that manufactures mushroom-derived building insulation and packaging materials.
Their product lines – more farmed than manufactured – include Greensulate insulation and Ecocradle packaging, naturally-grown replacements for traditional polystyrene products like rigid foam insulation and the Styrofoam packing blocks that protect fragile items like computers during shipping.
These fungi-based products perform just as well as their petroleum-based counterparts, but are made from one hundred percent natural materials. More good news: they require ten times less energy to produce, emit eight times less carbon dioxide in their making, and are fully compostable at the end of their useful life.
Ecovative's manufacturing process utilizes local agricultural waste – such as oat hulls and buckwheat husks in America, and rice byproducts in Asia – as a feedstock for growing mushroom mycelium. The feedstock is inoculated with mycelium. Then the mix is placed inside a mold that can take any shape – say a corner block to cushion a TV during transport. In about five days, the mycelium digests the ag waste and fills the mold. The result is a custom-shaped, solid mass which is fireproof, waterproof, and decomposes in one month when buried in soil. Goodbye Styrofoam! Steelcase, Dell, 3M, and Ford are already partnering with Ecovative to develop markets for mushroom-based products.
Meanwhile outside San Francisco, Philip Ross of Far West Fungi is experimenting with mycelium-based products for the green building industry. He is growing mushroom blocks that could serve as structural insulated panels, an eco-friendly alternative to polystyrene SIPs. Wasn't it smurfs who lived in mushroom homes?
Mushrooms are also showing promise in waste disposal. Mycoremediation, the use of fungi to clean up waste, has already been applied to the disposal of cellulose-based agricultural byproducts like straw, coffee grounds, and the leftovers from making tequila.
Now Dr. Alethia Vázquez-Morillas and her colleagues at Mexico City's Autonomous Metropolitan University have tackled landfill-clogging disposable diapers. Nearly eighteen billion non-biodegradable diapers – primarily made of cellulose – are sold each year in the U.S., producing a staggering amount of waste. Dr. Vázquez-Morillas has already shown that oyster mushrooms can reduce the decomposition rate of dirty diapers from 500 years to just four months. Oh, and once the mushrooms are through digesting the soiled diapers, they're delicious! How's that for an example of zero waste!?
Imagine, in the not-so-distant future, you could buy a new computer nestled in mushroom cushioning blocks, then transport it in a car equipped with mushroom-made bumpers to a home kept cozy by mushroom-insulation. No fuss disposing of that excess packaging either – simply toss it into the garden. And later, harvest some oyster mushrooms for dinner. Just pluck them from the pile of dirty diapers you've been composting. Bon appetite!
This is exactly the sort of ingenious, homegrown innovation that the U.S. needs now to bring us out of the current economic slump, and move us into a green global economy.

Gaza, Palestinian Territory (TML) – The Hamas government in the Gaza Strip is warning local politicians, government officials and faction leaders against buying cars imported from Israel for fear they may contain eavesdropping equipment or even remote-activated bombs planted by Israeli security agencies.
Ihab Ghossein, a spokesman for Hamas' Ministry of Interior, called in a statement for caution when dealing with the cars. But his warnings have fallen on deaf ears, where a four-year-old blockade has deprived Gazans of many consumer goods or put their prices out of range.
"People in Gaza haven't really responded to this warning," 'Ali Abu-Shahla, secretary-general of the Palestinian Businessmen Association in Gaza, told The Media Line. "I fear, though, that if people continue ignoring it, Hamas will resort to banning cars coming in from Israel altogether."
Israel has been under international pressure to ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip, especially after an attack by its commandos on an aid convoy to Gaza last May that left nine dead. Yet, even as Israel has begun to let cars and other once-prohibited goods into the Mediterranean enclave, Hamas itself hasn't always welcomed the increased flow of goods.
Private vehicles joined the list of permitted goods last month. Since then, nine shipments have passed through the Kerem Shalom checkpoint, containing 180 new or slightly used cars.
The problem for Hamas is that it doesn't profit from the official car imports because the taxes on the vehicles are paid to the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, Hamas' rival for control of the Palestinian territories, said Abu-Shahla. The only reason Hamas allows cars in at all, he said, was to ease pent up demand on the street and mounting criticism of the government, he said
Where it can and does collect taxes is on the vehicles and other goods smuggled through tunnels from Egypt, but the price to the consumer for these vehicles is much higher and the supply is limited. During the years that Israel banned car imports, a new, smuggled automobile — brought in disassembled through the narrow tunnels — could cost up to $40,000. The same car brought through Kerem Shalom now costs about $25,000.
"I sold my car when cars were expensive here, and got along with my son's car," Abu-Shahla said. "Now I'm planning to buy a new car."
Sa'id Abu-Khosa, a Gaza car salesman, estimated the sticker price on a new car in Gaza have fallen by 20% since Israel lifted the ban while used car prices have plunged as much as 50%. The pent-up demand for new cars is huge, he told the Palestinian daily Filastin, since their import was banned in Gaza for the past four years.
But Samir Zaqout, a field-work coordinator for Al-Mezan Center for human rights in Gaza, said the falling price of cars had less to do with taxes and costs than with supply and demand.
"Before Israel allowed cars into the Gaza Strip, prices here were exorbitant," he told The Media Line. "There was so much demand and no supply, which made cars much more expensive than their real price."
Indeed, Gaza's economy is rebounding after years of declining output under the pressure of the blockade. While the Gaza economy is smaller than it was a decade ago and unemployment is more than 35%, the International Monetary Fund forecasts Gaza's gross domestic product will jump this year 16%. While a car is beyond most Gazans' means, for those who can afford one they have become a more affordable means of recreation.
Hassan Asfour, a former Palestinian minister and aligned with the PA, said the Hamas warning was a cynical business move rather than a genuine security concern.
"What is happening in the Gaza Strip," he wrote in the Firas Press news site, "has nothing to do with security, but is merely a ploy to control the commercial market and monopolize the buying and selling; which is an obsession for big Hamas merchants, whose influence has become much stronger than that of their political leaders."
Car salesmen have testified that Hamas' security apparatus carefully examine all cars entering the Gaza Strip at the border crossing, Asfour wrote, adding that hundreds of cars are sold to security officials and members of the "resistance" in Gaza.
Restricted items include "dual use" materials which could be used for both civilian and military ends. Most of these are building materials such as cement, concrete, steel and gravel.
Four-wheel drive vehicles are also still banned from the Gaza Strip, since they are "liable to be used in terror activities," according to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
